Life is full of opposites: light and dark, hot and cold, triumph and tragedy. Experience the duality of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, with its contrasting moods—plus, Beethoven’s powerful overture to the tragic play about a Roman general who takes his own life after being torn between loyalty to his city and love for his family. Paired with Carlos Simon’s Fate Now Conquers (which incorporates harmonies from Beethoven’s Seventh) and one of Mozart’s greatest violin concertos, you have an evening of incomparable drama and joy.
